she, who shines like a rising sun (Happy birthday, Mia! <3)
and if she drops like afternoon rain,
may her heart bloom with daisies
and her smile bear springtime fruit
and may honeycomb, sweet as she,
tickle her ears like whispers carried on the winds
and if she stays on an uphill climb,
may she face her obstacles headon
so they blossom with the glow
of her luminescent eyes
may flora and fauna rise softly under her fingertips
and become ornaments caressed by the mountain she climbs
and if she soars, oh, if she soars,
may she soar on blessed wings
shaped from the constellations etched in her memory
and may she light up each morning
like a fresh sun hatching from its chrysalis
settled sleepily on the horizon
drop, stay, soar, and may she take to the skies
with flames in her soul and stars in her eyes
